About this listen
In this episode of The My Vision Born Show, host Abdel Russell reflects on how much Brooklyn, NY, transformed while he was away living in Florida from 2005 to 2008. Returning to the city after just three years made him question what he remembered versus what was now in front of him. Was Brooklyn really that different, or had time and distance changed his perspective?
One shift that stood out to Abdel was the noticeable rise in women identifying as lesbians. He couldn’t help but wonder—had these women always felt this way, or did they simply get tired of being labeled as "Tomboys"? And could Barack Obama’s policies on gender identity have played a role in this societal shift?
But the biggest revelation of all? The moment that finally pushed Abdel to become a U.S. citizen after 30 years of living in the country. Tune in as he unpacks his thoughts on identity, politics, and the ever-changing culture of the city that raised him.
